Implant having filament limbs of an adjustable loop disposed in a shuttle suture

A surgical method, comprising:

• loading a graft onto an adjustable filament loop that is coupled to an implant body, the adjustable filament loop having at least one adjustable limb extending therefrom, the implant body having a shuttle filament disposed therethrough, and the adjustable limb having a segment disposed in a hollow portion of the shuttle filament with a terminal end of the adjustable limb exiting the shuttle filament at a location that is more remote from an entry point of the segment into the shuttle filament;
• pulling the shuttle filament, the implant body, the adjustable filament loop, and the graft, through a bone tunnel until the implant body exits the tunnel while at least a portion of the adjustable filament loop and the graft remain in the tunnel;
• orienting the implant body so that a bottom side of the implant body is facing the tunnel such that the adjustable filament loop is disposed substantially within the tunnel and the at least one adjustable limb is outside of the tunnel, adjacent to a top side of the implant body;
• and
• removing the entire shuttle filament from the implant body.
